DAB
DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting. It is a new form of radio that
is broadcast digitally. Unlike regular analogue broadcasting, digital radio
deteriorates less, and is thus able to provide quality sound close to that of
a disc.
DAB structure
Bands
There are two types of DAB bands, “BAND III” (Receivable in this unit) and
“L BAND” (Not broadcast in the United Kingdom, and not receivable on this
unit).
Frequencies
There are 41 frequencies on BAND III. Among those frequencies, 7 are
used in the United Kingdom (current as of January, 2008).
Ensemble, station and service
The number of stations that make up one frequency differ between
DAB and analogue radio. Analogue stations all broadcast on different
frequencies, even if it is the same company doing the broadcasting. With
DAB however, it is possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same
frequency.
In DAB terminology, a group of stations on the same frequency is called an
ensemble.
As shown in the diagram, an ensemble consists of a group of stations which
have primary services, they can also have secondary services. This means,
for example, that commentary on sports events from different areas can all
be broadcast at once.
DAB reception method on this unit
Depending on the region there is a difference between broadcast frequency
and stations broadcast along the same frequency. For this reason, a
memory of receivable stations should first be created and then selected
from those memorized stations as the reception method.
DAB Auto Scan
This function searches for currently receivable stations and inputs them into
unit memory.
When DAB is selected for the first time, this function starts automatically.
Even if the station is stored into memory, some stations may not broadcast
depending on the time of day etc. If this occurs, “NO SERVICE” is
displayed.
Station Memory Updating
When there is a station name change, or a new station begins
broadcasting, the unit memory is automatically updated when:
The previous station name is displayed by selecting “STATION TUNE”.
One of the stations already broadcasting on the same frequency with the
new station is displayed by selecting “STATION TUNE”.
Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting is not automatic. If you
want to delete a station, perform Auto scan again and the new memory
is created.
When a new frequency begins broadcasting, stations on the new
frequency are not automatically added to memory. Perform Auto scan
to add them to memory. Also, you may need to change the Auto scan
range if the new frequency is outside the factory set Auto scan range
( page 9).
STATION TUNE
You can select stations from the memory created as shown above in
alphanumeric order. You can easily select your favorite stations by using
presets ( page 8).
DAB outdoor antenna
Never use an outdoor antenna during a lightning storm.
DAB operation
Press [DAB/FM/MUSIC P.] to enter DAB mode.
The unit comes on.
“SCAN FAILED” appears if no stations are memorized. If this occurs,
adjust the antenna and try Auto scanning or change the Auto scan
frequency range ( page 9 ).
Press [PLAY MODE] to select “STATION TUNE”.
Each time you press the button:
“STATION TUNE” “PRESET TUNE”
Press [u, 2] or [i, 1] to select a station.
The station name changes in alphanumeric order.
If you are selecting DAB for the
first time, “DAB Auto Scan...”
is displayed, stations that
are currently receivable are
memorized.
When a frequency is tuned the
ensemble corresponding to the
frequency is displayed.
The station first in alphanumeric
order is broadcast.
